I would have bought a 7 if it were about $300 cheaper

I went and bought Sapphire Vega 64 after VII was released. I'm not spending that much on a GPU and Vega 64 is already good enough for gaming. It just needed the price drop.

You can get a Vega 56 for less than $/£300 if you hunt around (Got a Sapphire Pulse for £270 brand new in the UK with 3 FREE new games worth $/£100-150 if purchased separately. Although you can get the AMD Rewards code sold on Ebay for half that at least). It wipes the floor with the 1660 Ti. The 1660 Ti is much slower and a bit of a wet fart in comparison. But people will still buy Nvidia and think it's the best thing since sliced bread. My Firestrike Ultra score 3dmark.com
BTW on power usage. Unless you are restricted in your PSU or build (I am running on a 500w PSU at present). The difference is negligible. I am undervolted and overclocked to 1700Mhz and using a wall wart it measures between 50-100 watts more than the Gigabyte RTX 2060 Gaming OC Pro in that graph. It's nothing really.

I worked out how much power my Vega 56 GPU uses. Approximately. My total system power measured at the wall with a power meter is 110 watts under full CPU load.
When undervolted and overclocked whilst running an intensive game that also stress the CPU it measures between 430 watts. Take away 110 and there you go. 320 watts. The RTX 2060 under load uses around that and Vega 56 trades blows with it.
Noah Adams
What voltage do you need to reach 1700MHz core? I usually just undervolt the core and overclock the memory, I haven't flashed a 64 bios yet though.
Landon Garcia
OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>Performance per watt
The most useless comparison ever. I care more about performance per dollar and 50-100 watts over the course of a year is peanuts.
Dominic Stewart
Oh and BTW they go by MSRP nor current market prices. A $300 Vega 56 curb stomps a $300 GTX 1660 Ti.
Mason Flores
This a food stamps general?

>radeon literally irrelevant in mobile because housefires
Matthew Murphy
>budget
Then you shouldn't worry at all, top end cards barely get over the limit of pcie2.0.
In the end it depends on your current specs/budget. Get 560/570/580 or 1050ti. 580/1060 onwards should be enough for 60fps 1080p. Personally wouldn't buy novidia, because they're disgusting and exploitative jews. All tech companies are cancer, so it's best to not buy/upgrade anything for as long as you can.

My bad, deleted my comment because i felt it was misplaced.
Anyhow, that's a relief to hear.
I'm using an phenom x4 965, haven't been OC'ed yet either.
16gigs of 1333 MHz ram
But my gtx 650 is giving up.
Yee, i didn't plan on buying nvidia either, also why i wrote in here
Just wanted to hear if there were any limits or things to notice when using radeon 3.0 cards in 2.0 slots.
Brody Richardson
That's an decade old pc, at this point it's probably worth building a new pc rather than upgrading. Look up current ryzen amd apu's like 2200g/2400g/2600g or wait till ryzen 2 release for a few months 3600g etc. Considering you've been using that thing for this long, you'd probably be fine getting just that.
Robert Rivera
Had a 1660ti and replaced it with a Vega64, couldn't be happier. The 1660ti is a good card, but it's a 1080p card at best. After I jumped to a 1440p144 monitor it couldn't keep up.
If you're going to fault the V64 for anything, it's how loud the fucking blower card gets if you goose the fans. At 2800rpm it's not too bad and basically inaudible over the noise of the game even without headphones. I'll be doing a waterblock eventually probably, just because I want things quiet.

> Had a 1660ti and replaced it with a Vega64
The fuck you're doing, burning your money by replacing one card with another within months?
James Foster
>months
It was 2 weeks.
I put the 1660ti in another build.
Matthew Thompson
I just took a dump. I appreciate the shit in the loo more than AMD housefires.
Kevin Rodriguez
I mean I hate Nvidia, but I wouldn't exactly brag about throwing their GPUs into the toilet.
Ryder Diaz
>somebody tell Asus, MSI, and Acer to stop making all those RX580 laptops
Fuck off Rabbi
Alexander Cook
Excellent trips
Jaxon Brooks
Sitting comfy with my RVII. Cant wait for the FINE WINE to be poures in and BTFO the 2080toilets
Xavier Baker
Just wait two more years!
Levi Nguyen
i got power bills to pay dude. sorry pajeet, not this time
Alexander Lee
Sick burn considering AMD is so far behind.
